Abstract
The present invention eliminates meaningless searching for an object, and increases the probability that an image the user likes can be obtained. An image capturing apparatus comprises an image capturing device configured to capture an object image, an object detection unit configured to detect an object from image data captured by the image capturing device, a state detection unit configured to detect information pertaining to a state in which the image capturing apparatus is being held, and a control unit configured to control a range in which the object detection unit searches for an object, on the basis of state information of the image capturing apparatus detected by the state detection unit.
